Real estate projects range from greenfield open land development to the various safety-related challenges of large and busy campuses. Inexperience, inaccurate or outdated records and asset data can lead to safety issues, operational disruptions, and unplanned capital expenses.  Kiwa’s has decades of experience in campus settings and understands the unique requirements of these complex sites as well as the tools to deliver quality data with high levels of efficiency. 

No matter the type of real estate project, quality engineering data, investigation and planning, materials, and construction management is crucial.  For existing sites, meeting environmental and archaeological review standards may be required, as well as other surveying requirements. In addition, both the owned assets as well as private utilities and other related infrastructure assets must be considered. The available information is often outdated, or not integrated or available in one place. Kiwa’s breadth of expertise supports research through smart asset management.
